Fennel For Indigestion Remedy
Fennel is a traditional remedy well liked by many naturopathic doctors. It is best known as a herbal remedy for indigestion and for coughs. Here are more information about its healing properties:
* Fennel is known to be able to help reduce wind and fatulence. In fact, you can find fennel oil in many gripe medicine for kids.
* Fennel seeds, used in teas, can help ease colic and intestinal cramp.
* Fennel is also often added to expectorant cough mixtures. It can help clear coughs.
* Fennel is also rich in potassium. This can help regulate blood pressure.
* Fennel can also stimulate milk production in lactating mothers.
You can consume fennel as a vegetable. But the active ingredients are actually found in the seeds. You can also obtain fennel as a herbal remedy in your local supplement stores.
What I like best is to have a cup of fennel infusion tea. Having an occasional cup after a full meal is soothing to the stomach.
A word of caution though: You should avoid eating fennel seeds if you are pregnant as it has the ability to stimulate contractions in your uterus.
